KIRIBATI: Kiribati Integrated Environment Policy

The Kiribati Integrated Environment Policy (KIEP) is a key strategic policy document that marks an important milestone for the Government of Kiribati. It sets a solid policy platform for long term planning and action to respond to priority environmental issues, related to the impacts of global climate change on Kiribati's islands. In particular, the transition from a traditional subsistence lifestyle to a contemporary market-based economy has brought with it key environmental challenges. These challenges are most apparent in the heavily populated urban centres of Betio, South Tarawa and to a certain extent Kiritimati Island. The KIEP is is the resulto of a 3 -year broad based consultation process with government, private sector, Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), Community Support Organizations (CSO), outer islands and regional organizations like the Secretariat of the Pacific Environment Programme (SPREP).

The code is mandatory for commercial buildings or building complexes that have a connected load of 500 kW or greater or a contract demand of 600 kVA or greater. The code is also applicable to all buildings with a conditioned floor area of 1,000 m2 (10,000 ft2) or greater. The code is recommended for all other buildings.

INDIA: BEE Agricultural Demand Side Management Programme

In order to accellerate DSM model in agricultural sector, BEE has initiated this Programme in which pump set efficiency upgrade would be carried out through public private partnership. The Agriculture Demand Side Management (Ag-DSM) scheme of BEE was initiated during XI plan in eleven DISCOMs of selected eight states (Maharashtra, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka), which are agriculturally intensive, and accounts for more than 70% of electricity consumption in this sector. The objective of the program is to create appropriate framework for market based interventions in the agriculture pumping sector and carried out pumpset efficiency upgrdation projects through Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. Under this scheme, 11 Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) were prepared in 8 states covering about 20,000 pump sets connected on 87 feeders and indicating saving potential of 97 million units. The Programme outlines the following aspects: Overview of India's Agricultural Sector; 2 Opportunity; 3 Dimensions of the Challenge; 4 Approach; 5 Ag DSM Programme; 6 Current Status of the Programme.
